Postcard from the UK

I’ve spent the last several days in the United Kingdom. First up in a somewhat cool and overcast Manchester where I had the great pleasure of working with John Cleese on a project. I have to say that he was a genuinely wonderful person; pleasant, funny and a real professional.

Tuesday night I had the treat of seeing John’s one man show, his “Alimony Tour” which was absolutely terrific whether you were a Monty

Python fan or not. The show was a kind of a one man, multi-media, and autobiography stage show. It was captivating and hilarious for a full two hours!

After Manchester, I had to fly down to London for more business. London is a great city and it’s even better when it is a perfect sunny day; not too hot, bright clear skies and just the most refreshingly light breeze. It was just a downright beautiful day to be hoofing it around the City of London.

What is so exhilarating about being in London is the history everywhere you turn. I was leaving a recording studio near Soho Square and I walked past a building that had a historical marker on it indicating that Mozart had lived, composed and played in that building. That is commonplace in London. On a street near Buckingham Palace, there is a marker indicating that Charles Dickens lived and wrote in that building.

I’m was just soaking it all up and loving every minute of being in London!!
